Friendship Circle 50+

Great conversations, laughter, and new friends await at Coffee & Convo! Our gatherings have been all that and more. Let's keep the momentum going and connect with others to foster new friendships and build community. What better way to start the day?!

This post is for informational purposes. Feel free to shop on your own, or leave a comment if you'd like to meet up with other members to experience the boutique as a group.

The YMCA Holiday Boutique is a curated market of handmade crafts and artisan goods featuring more than 60 vendors. Get your holiday shopping done in one place as you choose from jewelry, candles, woodwork, paper crafts, ornaments, ceramics, wall art, and so much more! Now in its 45th year, this event is another Redlands tradition. Proceeds benefit the YMCA's Legal Aid Clinic.

Be sure to visit the Pantry Bakeshop to purchase delectable homemade cookies, fudge, breads, candies, jams, and specialty items. I'll be working in the Pantry, so come say hi!

The event continues on Sunday, December 8th. The Holiday Home Tour, also on Sunday, is another local favorite. Tour both vintage and modern homes in Redlands decked out for the holidays. Visit the YMCA's website for ticket information.

One of the things I love about Feel Good Market is their out-of-the-ordinary, fun, easy workshops. Simmer pots are perfect for the holiday season and make your home smell naturally fragrant. Let your creativity loose and create your own unique scent. This would also make a great small gift of appreciation!

You must purchase your ticket on Feel Good Market's website or in-store. Be sure to select the 11 am workshop. The cost is $10 and you can purchase an additional simmer pot for $8. These workshops typically sell out, so if you're interested don't wait too long get your ticket!

Please also RSVP here so I'll know who to expect. Let's get creative!

Remember when we were younger and made cards in school? Well, even though we're all grown up now, it doesn't mean that we can't let our inner child out to make some fun, festive cards and gift tags! We'll have a variety of supplies available, so get ready to let your creativity flow and forget about the stress of the holidays, if only for a couple of hours.

Roya is once again kindly opening her home to us for this event. She lives near the University of Redlands; the address will be provided the day before to those who RSVP. A suggested donation of $5 will help cover the cost of supplies. Hope you can join us!
